If there is no container collection site in your area, dispose of the container in accordance with provincial requirements.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not apply on or near desirable trees or plants, or in locations where chemical may be washed into contact with their roots.
2. Apply DYCLEER AGRICULTURAL Herbicide when air temperature is between 10 and 25 C for best results. Do not apply when there is a risk of severe fall in night temperature after use.
3. Do not contaminate domestic or irrigation waters. Thoroughly clean application equipment after use.
4. Do not treat areas where movement of the chemical into the soil or surface washing may bring DYCLEER AGRICULTURAL Herbicide into contact with the roots of desirable plants.
5. Crop damage can occur if the chemical is applied at any time other than the recommended crop stage.
NOTE: Crop injury may occur if application is made to crops that have been stressed by abnormally hot, humid or cold weather conditions, frost, low fertility, drought, water saturated soil, compacted soil, previous pesticide applications, disease or insect damage etc. However, crop injury that may occur is usually offset by the weed control obtained.
6. Do not use additives such as oil, wetting agents, emulsifiers, detergents, spreaders, sticking agents, or dispersing agents with DYCLEER Agricultural Herbicide on crops unless otherwise specified. 7. For information on feeding and grazing of beef and dairy cattle on treated vegetation refer to the appropriate grazing, haymaking and slaughter restrictions.
8. Read and follow the label instructions for the tank-mix products noting pertinent recommendations, directions for use, restrictions or additional weeds controlled.
9. To avoid subsequent injury to other crops, thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after spraying. Ensure that all traces of the product are removed. See section on suggested procedure for cleaning spray equipment.

SPRAY DRIFT PRECAUTIONS:
DYCLEER AGRICULTURAL Herbicide may cause injury to desirable trees and plants, particularly soybeans, flowers, fruit trees, grapes, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, tomatoes and tobacco and other broadleaf crops especially in their developmental and growing stage. Follow these precautions when spraying DYCLEER AGRICULTURAL Herbicide in areas where sensitive crops are grown. 
1. Avoid making applications where spray particles may be carried by air currents onto nearby sensitive crops. Apply when wind is 3 to 15 km/hr. Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when weather conditions may cause drift from target areas to adjacent sensitive crops. Leave an adequate buffer zone between areas to be treated and sensitive plants.
2. Apply with coarse spray droplets since they are less likely to drift than fine spray droplets. Select nozzles which minimize the amount of fine spray particles. Apply in a minimum of 220 L/ha spray volume and a maximum pressure of 150 kPa unless otherwise required by the nozzle manufacturer.
3. Do not apply DYCLEER AGRICULTURAL Herbicide when the temperature on the day of application is expected to exceed 30 C as drift is more likely to occur.
4. Ensure that spray equipment used to apply DYCLEER AGRICULTURAL Herbicide is properly cleaned before reusing to apply any other chemicals.
5. Avoid spraying under conditions of high humidity or fog to prevent drift to adjacent crops.

DIRECTION FOR USE
Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium/coarse classification (according to the appropriate buffer zone table). Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
DO NOT apply this product directly to freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams reservoirs and wetlands), estuarine or marine habitats.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
Surface Runoff:
To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats consider the characteristics and conditions of the site before treatment. Site characteristics and conditions that may lead to runoff include but are not limited to heavy rainfall, moderate to steep slope, bare soil, poorly draining soil (e.g. soils that are compacted, fine textured, or low in organic matter such as clay).
Potential for contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including an untreated vegetation strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
Avoid applying this product when heavy rain is forecasted.
Leaching:
The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater, particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g. sand, loamy sand and sandy loam soils) and/or depth to the water table is shallow.
Grazing Restrictions
1. Following treatment with DYCLEER AGRICULTURAL Herbicide plus any other herbicide tank-mix: Do not graze or harvest for livestock feed prior to crop maturity; sufficient data are not available to support such use.
2. Following treatment with DYCLEER AGRICULTURAL Herbicide or DYCLEER AGRICULTURAL Herbicide plus 2,4-D, follow these restrictions:
DO NOT permit lactating diary animals to graze fields within 7 days after application.
DO NOT harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application.
Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter.

CEREALS (Not Underseeded to Legumes):
1. Spray when weeds are at the 2 to 3 leaf stage and rosettes are less than 5 cm across.
2. Use the higher rate when treating more mature weeds or dense vegetative growth.
3. Crop damage can occur if application is made other than at the recommended crop stage.
4. Do not apply DYCLEER AGRICULTURAL Herbicide or DYCLEER AGRICULTURAL Herbicide tankmixes if the crop is underseeded to legumes.
Ground Application
Apply DYCLEER AGRICULTURAL Herbicide alone or in tankmix in at least 110 litres of water/ha.
Aerial Application (Western Canada ONLY)
Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label.
Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for a specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices.
Aerial Application Use Precautions:
Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides.
DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 15 km/h at flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan.
Do not apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other nontarget areas. Specified buffer zones should be observed.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift; therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist). Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as a shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.
Aerial Application Operator Precautions:
Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted. It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application. The field crew and the mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the label recommendations on the ground application section. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly.
